Variety reports that the Spy star is teaming with The Jim Henson Company’s Henson Alternative banner for the cheerfully titled film The Happytime murders. Or at least her character aims to track down a serial murderer of puppets in a freshly announced motion picture. Melissa McCarthy is here to bring an end to the puppet slaughter.
